Hi all,
I wanted to share with you a bit of footage I took when teaching the F35 to a class last year. My aim was twofold:
1. To prove to students you can light something nice very easily
2. To show that ISO 800 isn't necessary to deal with low light situations.
Although we were in a studio (an extremely basic one), I did not want to use any of the studio lights because the reality is these students will not be DoP'ing studio-based projects any time soon.
For the setup, there were just two lights. An ARRI 650 fresnel with some CTB was used as a background/fill light and the key light was simply a 40w desk lamp, just off-screen. The lamp was pointed mostly down to illuminate the table.
In both cases my lightmeter read about T1.4-T2.0 on the subject's face, but to make the situation even more difficult I pretended we had a slow lens which only went to T2.8 so that was the stop.
For the second shot, we eliminated the back-light entirely.
Videos were both originally encoded at 12mbps using a slow x264 profile, how much vimeo will retain is anyone's guess!
I will be sharing these on the F35 channel.
